Regular eye exams are important because they can pick up early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Adults and children are usually advised to schedule an eye exam at an eye clinic every one to two years. In addition to a complete examination of the eye, an eye doctor may want to arrange one or more of the following eye tests.

Applanation Tonometry

This eye test involves placing a dye in the eye and measuring the pressure in the eye with an instrument called a tonometer. It helps an eye doctor diagnose glaucoma.
